Veteran Linebacker and human concussion machine Dan Morgan plans to play football again this season, according to espn.com. Morgan, who suffered his fifth “documented” concussion (the actual number of concussions Morgan has sustained is believed to be much closer to double digits) last season in a loss to the Falcons, worked out in a team minicamp earlier this month and says he expects to be on the field this season.
Apparently, Dan Morgan has a death wish, and the Panthers (and the NFL) are more than happy to help move him toward it. Morgan is quoted in the article as saying that “Walking away never occured to me. Not at all. Not for a minute.”
Cute as that is, Dan, the reason the thought never occurred to you probably has a lot to do with the MULTIPLE CONCUSSIONS you’ve sustained in the past six years in the NFL. I hate to break it to you, but the odds that you’re playing with anything close to a full deck are slim and none. Seriously, what thoughts do occur to you, other than “smash!” “football!” and “Dan dizzy”?
I just hope nobody kills this guy on the field. Seriously. The NFL’s concussion policies are a joke.
